Japanese Umbrella 'Blossom'
Japanese Umbrella 'Blossom' — Cherry Blossom Print Wagasa
Cherry blossoms (sakura) are Japan's most beloved seasonal symbol — marking the brief, radiant weeks each spring when the entire country turns pink and white. Hanami (flower viewing) is a centuries-old Japanese tradition, and sakura imagery runs through every form of Japanese art, from kimono silks to ceramics to parasol designs. The Blossom umbrella channels that deep seasonal tradition.
Sakura carries a specific philosophical weight in Japanese culture: mono no aware, 'the pathos of things,' the bittersweet awareness that beauty is most powerful when it's fleeting. This idea runs through the entire aesthetic tradition that shaped Japan's approach to art, poetry, and design. An umbrella decorated with sakura petals carries that philosophical weight into an everyday object.
Built with a bamboo handle in traditional wagasa style, the umbrella measures 80cm across and weighs just 250g — generous coverage with comfortable carry. The bamboo construction provides the natural feel and subtle flex that define traditional Japanese parasol craft, while the eco-friendly design respects the material heritage of the wagasa tradition.
The Blossom works beautifully in spring weather, for hanami outings, themed photography, cultural events, or as a striking everyday parasol. It also makes a poetic decorative piece when displayed in a Japanese-inspired interior. A meaningful gift for cherry blossom enthusiasts or anyone drawn to Japanese seasonal aesthetics.
